Research Tools

Your Research Journey Starts Here...

When you are in the high school, the link below will take you directly to the tools you need. If you are working from home, you will need a username and password. I have emailed these to your school Gmail account. Search your email for "Database Login" and you will find the information you need. You can also stop by the library and I will provide the information for you:)

WEBSITE/WEBPAGE EVALUATIONBelow you will find links that will help you select the best online information resources when researching online. The Internet is an amazing tool to help you research any imaginable topic but if you get your information from questionable sources, you really haven't learned anything at all.

MLA/APA PAPER TEMPLATESAPA or MLA? Which should you use and why? Fortunately, selecting between the APA format and the MLA format styles is probably the least stressful aspect of writing a paper. Often your teacher will dictate the writing format with the assignment. If your teacher doesn’t, the focus of the paper often does.

The APA (American Psychological Association) format is primarily assigned to writing in the fields social sciences: psychology, sociology, nursing, social work, criminology, and business.

The MLA (Modern Language Association) is the format of choice for the humanities: literature, language, history, philosophy, the arts, and religion.
